Yes it is, just don't load up processor.ko once you have compiled in ACPI. ACPI on the r40e will give you the ability to view battery life and if you compile in cpufreq support you can also use powernowd to cycle the processor power usage and save your battery life. My processor is running at 250Mhz as I type this in fact, but when I click send I know that powernowd will cycle the processor up to nearer 2ghz. I've been working with the developers to resolve issues with processor.ko module and so far tonight I've managed to get it to run thanks to a patch one very kind developer worked on and sent me. I still can't suspend or standby though, so we're not totally there yet. I'll keep this list informed as to how things go.
